Abstract To assess the impact of long term land treatment, soil profile samples were collected from treated and untreated sites at five refinery land treatment facilities. All samples were analyzed for texture, cation exchange capacity (CEC), specific conductance (EC), Na saturation (ESP), Na absorption ratio (SAR), pH, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Ni, and V. Data show that land treatment of refinery waste had no effect on soil texture or CEC. Some sites showed small increases over background EC values of the surface 30 cm of soil. Depending on the waste characteristics and management practices, the soil pH may increase or decrease as a result of land treatment of refinery waste. Only one site was found with coil pH less than 6.5. At this site, Cr and Pb were detected below the zone of incorporation at concentrations above untreated soil. However, metal levels within the zone of incorporation at all sites remained within the ranges considered common for natural soil.
